All the media asset data are displayed in a classification thematic page in a fixed line quantity and longitudinal pull-down mode. The asset data a 1-a 10 shown in fig. 6 are displayed in a fixed vertical drop-down form of 3 per line.
In some embodiments, the application main page also includes an item detail area 41-3 for indicating a detailed description of the asset data in which focus is located. The project detail area specifically comprises an indication name and indication details, if the position of the focus is the media asset data, the indication name is displayed as the name of the media asset data, and the indication details are displayed as the details of the media asset data. And if the position of the focus is the entry data of the secondary page, displaying the indication name as an entry indication name, and displaying the indication details as entry indication details. For example, as shown in FIG. 2, if the focus is located at asset data A1, the name "Waterower" of asset data A1 is displayed in the application page, and the details "Architecture and building of asset data A1: Waterower Manual of the m have … …" are displayed. The user can not only know the media asset data through the pictures of the media contents but also through the names and the details, so that the user can conveniently make viewing selection.
As shown in FIG. 5, if the focus is located in the "more" icon, i.e. the secondary page entry data, the indication name is displayed as the entry indication name "collectionEnter", and the indication detail is displayed as the entry indication detail "this is the entry for this category, you can watch all videos for this … …", so as to prompt the user to view more media data in this category by selecting this icon.
The asset data presentation area 41-2 includes asset class names: technology and science, it is shown that the asset data included in asset data presentation area 41-2 is related to science and Technology. The asset data presentation area 41-2 further includes a plurality of pictures of asset data. Unlike the asset data presentation area 41-1, the asset data presentation area 41-2 includes only 3 asset data, and thus, the asset data presentation area 41-2 does not include secondary page entry data.
In some embodiments, the classified topic page further includes a video detail area 42-1 for introducing related introduction words of the media asset data at the focus, where the video detail area specifically includes: and the media asset classification name of the media asset data display area where the secondary page entry data is located, the total amount of all the media asset data contained in the classification thematic page and introduction characters of the media asset data at the position where the focus is located. As shown in the category topic page of fig. 6, the video detail area includes the media asset category names "Architecture and buildings", and the category topic page contains thetotal amount 10 of all the media asset data. The position of the current focus is the asset data A2, and the introduction text "Architecture and building" of the asset data A2, video-sales-snow-in-city … … "is displayed at the bottom of the asset class name" Architecture and building ".
In some embodiments, after entering the classification topic page from the secondary page entry data, only a portion of the asset data can be displayed due to the limited range of the page area, but all of the asset data contained in the classification topic page is actually rendered completely. Only the asset data A1-A9 are displayed in the category topic page shown in FIG. 7, but actually the asset data A10 that is not displayed is rendered.
In fig. 7, if the user stretches the page downwards, the focus moves from the asset data a2 in the first row to the asset data a7 in the third row, and since the asset data a7 has no related introduction text, the content is no longer displayed in the area where the introduction text of the asset data a2 was originally displayed, and all asset data moves upwards as a whole, as shown in fig. 8, after the asset data moves upwards as a whole, the asset data a10 which is not displayed on the page before moves upwards is also displayed on the page. After entering the classified thematic page, the media asset data which can be displayed in the page is rendered, and meanwhile, the media asset data which is not displayed in the page is rendered, so that when the focus is moved downwards, the media asset data at the bottom of the page can be displayed more quickly, and the user experience is further improved.
In the above-described embodiment, the application home page is displayed on the display in response to a control instruction input by the user to instruct display of the application home page. The application main page comprises a plurality of media asset data display areas which are divided according to categories, and the media asset data of different categories are distributed in the media asset data display areas according to corresponding categories. The media asset data display area is provided with a displayable quantity threshold value, and the media asset data display area exceeding the quantity threshold value also comprises secondary page entry data. In response to a control instruction from the user indicating selection of secondary page entry data, a jump is made from the application home page to a category specific page for the category, the category specific page including all of the media content for the category. And if the media asset data of a certain category is excessive, reducing the operation frequency of repeatedly stretching the page back and forth by the user to select the finally viewed media asset data. Therefore, the user can conveniently search the media asset data to be watched, and the film watching experience of the user is improved.
Fig. 9 is a flowchart illustrating a multimedia asset data display method in the display apparatus.
In connection with the method of FIG. 9, the method includes the following steps S51-S52:
step S51: responding to a control instruction which is input by a user and indicates to display an application main page, and displaying the application main page on a display, wherein the application main page comprises a plurality of media asset data display areas which are divided according to categories, media asset data are distributed in the media asset data display areas according to corresponding categories, and the media asset data display areas with the media asset data larger than a quantity threshold value further comprise secondary page entry data; as shown in fig. 2, theapplication home page 41, which may be a menu key on the control device pressed by the user, is displayed on the display in response to a control instruction input by the user indicating that the application home page is displayed, and the display apparatus displays the application home page on the display in response to the key input instruction. The application main page comprises a plurality of asset data display areas divided according to categories, such as shown in fig. 2, two asset data display areas 41-1 and an asset data display area 41-2 of different categories.
The asset data display area 41-1 includes an asset classification name "Architecture and databases," which indicates that the asset data included in the asset data display area 41-1 are all related to buildings. The asset data display area 41-1 further includes a plurality of pictures of asset data, fig. 2 shows only pictures a 1-a 4, and a4 shows only half pictures. The user can set the maximum displayed amount of the asset data in the asset data display area, namely the threshold of the amount of the asset data. The embodiment shown in fig. 2 sets the threshold value of the amount of asset data to 3.5, i.e., a complete picture of three asset data of a 1-A3 and a half picture of a4 are displayed.
In the embodiment of the application, when 3.5 pieces of media asset data are displayed at most simultaneously in the media asset data display area, secondary page entry data are displayed at the last position of all the media asset data picture lists, as shown in fig. 4, a "more" icon is displayed. The user need only stretch the page so that the focus falls on the "more" icon, which indicates that asset data presentation area 41-1 also contains more asset data, as shown in fig. 5, and the user stretches the page while moving the focus from the picture of asset data a1 to the "more" icon. Meanwhile, the quantity detail in the asset data presentation area 41-1 is updated to "5/5", indicating that the current focus is located at the last position of the asset data picture list.
The asset data presentation area 41-2 includes asset class names: technology and science, it is shown that the asset data included in asset data presentation area 41-2 is related to science and Technology. The asset data presentation area 41-2 further includes a plurality of pictures of asset data. Unlike the asset data presentation area 41-1, the asset data presentation area 41-2 includes only 3 asset data, and thus, the asset data presentation area 41-2 does not include secondary page entry data.
Step S52: responding to a control instruction of selecting the secondary page entry data indicated by a user, and jumping from the application main page to a classification thematic page; the classified special topic page comprises all the media asset data corresponding to the media asset data display area where the secondary page entry data is located. For example, in response to a control instruction from a user indicating selection of secondary page entry data, a jump is made from the application main page to the classification topic page. For example, the focus may be on the "more" icon, the user presses a confirmation key on the control device, and the display device jumps from the application home page shown in fig. 5 to thecategory topic page 42 of fig. 6 in response to an instruction input by the user. The classified topic page comprises all the media asset data in the media asset data display area 41-1 and all the media asset data which are not displayed in the category corresponding to the media asset data display area 41-1.
The category topic page shown in FIG. 6 includes media asset data for all building categories: the asset data A1-A4 already shown in the asset data display area 41-1 and the asset data A5-A10 not shown in the asset data display area 41-1. The user can see the media asset data under the building category more clearly and intuitively in the classified thematic page, the media asset data to be watched can be found more conveniently, and the film watching experience of the user is improved.
Fig. 10 is a schematic diagram of the implementation logic of the method. Specifically, after the user starts the application, the media asset data is acquired according to the application ID, for example, according to a plurality of classification names: the method comprises the steps of acquiring media asset data of different classifications, displaying corresponding media asset data in different media asset data display areas according to the classifications, and displaying all the media asset data in each media asset data display area in a classification row mode. And then judging whether the media asset data contained in all the media asset data display areas is larger than a quantity threshold value.
For example, according to the page layout of fig. 2, each row of the page can display 4 pieces of asset data at most, and the number threshold is 4. And if the media asset data exceeds 4 media asset data display areas, intercepting the first 4 media asset data in the media asset data display areas, adding more classification special entry data, namely secondary page entry data, and displaying. And simultaneously storing all the media asset data of the corresponding classification into an independent array, and setting the array identification ID as the classified media asset classification name as the display data of a secondary page entered by the more entrance. And if the user selects the entry data of the secondary page, the user enters a thematic classification page containing all media asset data of the corresponding classification. And if the media asset data does not exceed 4 media asset data display areas, displaying normally, not processing the data, specifically, not adding secondary page entry data.
